thank you so much - I use the general tab under the server to turn on debug and then use the troubleshooter to download all logs in that zip - which ones should i be looking at/providing? and how do i "clean" the logs? sorry for the noobish questions.

I've got several recently added movies won't play in Plex regardless of the client (Nvidia Shield, Windows app, browser). Files play fine in VLC, confirming they're not corrupted. The problem only affects recent additions to my Movies and Documentaries libraries—both of which are film libraries. I have been unable to recreate the issue with any files that have been in my library for longer than a few weeks. Behavior: Shield: Button press sound, nothing happens Browser: "An error occurred loading items to play." Affected files seem random—no consistent pattern Here are my most recent films: Gaslight (new) - plays fine One Battle After Another (new) - won't play Frankenstein (new) - won't play One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (upgrade) - won't play Docs library: Going Postal (new) - plays fine Generation Wealth (new) - won't play Come See Me in the Good Light (new) - won't play Orwell: A Final Warning (new) - played successfully yesterday, won't play now In Waves & War (new) - plays fine Troubleshooting attempted: Restarted Plex container Changed the host path for the /transcode directory to /dev/shm Rebooted Unraid server Performed "Plex dance" Downloaded lower resolution version (still won't play) Checked for updates Environment: Plex Version: 1.42.2.10156 Platform: Unraid (Docker) Log file: https://pastebin.com/aQKLDNsk Suspect corrupted database. How do I fix this? I looked into https://support.plex.tv/articles/repair-a-corrupted-database/ but I don't see plex sql in the install directory so it doesn't work in terminal - so not sure what to do about that.

great thanks for the clarity - much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into GluetunVPN docker - but just to make sure, are you saying i should run that and hotio's qbittorrent-vpn in conjuction or just GluetunVPN is sufficient? And will this require me to do any modifications to nginx?

I'm setting up torrenting on my Unraid server and wanted to sanity check my approach. I just want to protect my torrenting traffic — nothing more, nothing less. Background: I have Unraid box with CloudflareDNS and Nginx Proxy Manager already running. I'd say i have decent technical skill — I can run Docker containers, follow guides, and troubleshoot light issues. I was about to set up hotio/qbittorrent-vpn and subscribe to PIA (found a deal: 3 years for ~$2/mo) But then I noticed VPN Manager under the Unraid Network Settings, read https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/security/vpn/ and have a couple of questions: Questions: Is VPN Manager sufficient for isolating and protecting torrent traffic, or is a VPN-based Docker container (like hotio/qbittorrent-vpn) still the better route? If VPN Manager isn't enough on its own, is there any reason not to go with hotio/qbittorrent-vpn + PIA? Is this VPN Manager a relatively new feature? It feels like it could potentially eliminate the need for VPN-wrapped containers, but I'm not sure where it shines vs. where it's limited. Bonus: I noticed WireGuard is available as a free option. Does that offer similar protection if configured right?

will do. thanks

For the past few days, my server starts producing Exit Status Errors. Unraid seems to stop working at this juncture, so while i can still ping my server on my local network, everything else goes kaput. I have a KVM hooked up to the server and when looking at it - i see a bunch of Exit Status Errors and when i'm prompted to login - it kicks back with an error: /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion: Input/output error. Any ideas? buddha-diagnostics-20240523-1152.zip

I have a slew of entries in this field in my config (i don't remember why - as i set this up years ago). Is it safe to delete all of those and just go with 1.0.0.1 and 8.8.8.8? I am happy to post all the addresses i have in that key field if that would help.

where do you change the DNS servers for this?

thanks!

thanks for that tip. A question about the instructions for rebuild-dndc.... https://github.com/elmerfdz/rebuild-dndc on step 2 where it talks about ... docker network create container:master_container_name do i need to change master_container_name to binhex-delugevpn?

just deleting them is sufficient.

still having this problem - is there a paid support service available? this is quite problematic.

just thought i'd throw this back up to the top.

Just a bump to see how to get this fixed.
